As the Chemo Drips...

After beating ovarian cancer once, I've been re-diagnosed. Here I'll share my journey of chemotherapy and surgery including the ups and downs, laughter and tears and everything in between.

Fianlly called

It's been a very stressful week once again here at the Bolam house!   Dr. Pugmire finally called this morning.  He said it is ovarian cancer on the rectum, so he will continue to be my Dr. and will be the one to operate.   He said it takes 6 to 8 weeks to get the chemo out of my system and he can't do the surgery until its all gone.  He at first said surgery would be in Oct, but I told him that Abby's wedding was then.  He said I could wait till after the wedding or have it beginning of Sept.  So far I've decided to wait till after the wedding, I don't think I need the added stress of surgery before.   I will also need to have 6 rounds of chemo...which at this point seems very "doable"   Of course it falls right in the middle of our trip to Mexico, but will work it out even if I have to fly home for treatment like before.  We have a meeting with him next Thursday to go over everything and discuss what will happen. 

I feel much better now that I've spoken to him again.  He is kind of arrogant but for some reason I like that.  I feel like he will listen to me and tells it like it is....good or bad, where Dr Fata just smoothed things over.  I still have not heard a word from Dr. Fata or his staff and at this point doubt I will.  Trying to let go of the anger I have towards him, but it sure is tough.  I was just $$$$ to him, so much for his,"we love you here, your family".   So, I'm relieved for now, hope I will be able to sleep thru the night and have my stress level go down.  Still planning on going on vacation next week up north and then to Pennsylvania to visit family with Abby and Dan.  Again, thanks to all who have supported me thru all of this,
                                      Peace & Love

    I've been on pins and needles waiting to hear about the tests. If you have to be happy about something (as you said) it's good your with a new Doctor that you like and that will take good care of you. Waiting until after the wedding is a good idea...your right, you don't need the added stress. As always, your in my prayers Marcia....keeping you there daily.

    Try hard and let the anger go...it's not healthy for you and it won't solve anything. Karma is a wonderful thing, Dr. Fata will realize that someday. In the meantime, don't waste a single thought more on him, he's not worth it. If you carry that around with you....he wins....you lose. Let it go....and let God handle it!

    Hugs and love.....enjoy your vacation next week...breath deep and relax!
